It's legal in most states, but I wouldn't recommend it. Try a 20 if you don't want the recoil of the 12, they work pretty well.

A .410 shotgun is not legal for deer in Washington State. State Law is a little screwy, requires a 20 gage or larger shotgun, a .24 min calaber rifle with a 16" min barrel length, or a .24 min calaber handgun with a 4" min barrel length.

The only way I would think about that is with the Taurus judge and I think hornady self defense bullets using crimson trace laser grips and like the 6.5 in. barrel. I don't know if they're hornady but someone makes self defense .410 shells specifically designed for the taurus judge and they shoot three '00 buckshot

A .410 with slugs would do the trick to 50 yds probably, but it's not ideal.

.410 slugs have about the same powder leve as as a .38 special. Hardly a deer load. I once shot a large raccon with one at about 30 yards. The slug did not exit. Hardly a deer load but neither is a .22 LR yet one can kill a deer with it...

ARhunter,

The Taurus judge is a close range defensive handgun, not ment for hunting large game. Crimson tracer grips...oh boy...

It does not have enough knock down power to efficiently kill a deer. It's illegal to hunt deer with a 410 in PA.
